Following the teachings of Gita


Following the teachings of Gita, we can explain the Gunas of a Brahmin Varna and the necessary qualifications needed to become a priest and also the lifestyle they need to follow.
With that restriction, we may need to open up the opportunity with equal rights.
However one may need to decide how many will take it and how many will accept that.
A short 6 months quick course for priests is not going to work, but a full term study will wok.
They need: i. "STUDY" the basic principles of Hindu Dharma and study of village customs;
then: ii. "STHUTHI" - learning basic prayers and recitations; Sanskrit lessons
then: iii. "SMRUTHI" the reading of Puranas, prayer manthras, Bhagavath Githa etc
then: iV: " SRUTHI" the stody of Vedas and Agamas and advanced study of Temple procedures.
If anyone is willing to go through all these for 4 to 8 years - then why not a Sudhra by birth.
When all the Brahmin Priests are sending their sons to IT, Engineering and Law college, we have very few willing to serve the Hindu Cause. When a Brahmin can do business as a Vaisya why not a Sudra do the Pooja.
